cinco de gringo

play on words from the holiday cinco de mayo where the mexican town of puebla won a military victory over french forces. a relatively insignificant holiday to mexicans, especially in comparison to the day of mexican independence where there is much more emphasis and celebration among mexican communities in the united states. Cinco de Mayo, in short, merely acts as another holiday where people can party and get drunk. White people seem to like the holiday more than mexican immigrant families do, hence the name.
Can also be called Cinco de Drinko.

Charlie: Yeah, cinco de mayo let's party
José: güerro, we don't celebrate that
Charlie: Whatever, I'm gonna party and get smashed tonight
José: Just go celebrate Cinco de Gringo already

Cinco de Mayo 

A few of my gringo friends ask me the meaning of Cinco de Mayo every year so I thought I would give the full unabridged and comprehensive answer here.

It all started on a cool April morning in 1843 in Mexico. It was the middle of the Mexican war of independence against their Mayan overlords. General Chimichanga was leading an offensive for the Mexican army and was marching north to meet the Mayans at Fajita Hill. He knew he would be out-numbered so he sent his mariachi band to contact the Burrito Boys in Tijuana to request their assistance in battle. He was not sure if they would agree or even arrive in time for the battle (they were located 23.5 miles away). When General Chimichanga arrived at Fajita Hill on May 5 he was amazed to find the Burrito Boys and their leader Commander Nacho Cheese got there first and decimated the Mayans on there own with less than 20 men. The Mayans fled north to Alamo, Texas effectively ending the Mexican war for independence.

General Chimichanga gets most of the credit for winning the Mexican war for Independence on Cinco de Mayo, but Commander Nacho Cheese was the real hero. He and the Burrito Boys saved Mexico from the Mayans.

Cinco de Negro

A drinking day for black people. Term coined by Conan O'Brien. Unlike Black Drinkin' Day, which is the offical black drinking holiday celebrated on October 7th, Cinco de Negro can be celebrated on any 5th day of the month, making it a recurring celebratory day.

Cinco de Mayo'd 

When a person generally with a Caucasian stomach eats too much Mexican food and in turn spends more time in the bathroom than usual.

Usually occurs on Cinco de Mayo.

Tommy, Cam, and I headed out to El Oasis for lunch in honor of Cinco de Mayo. Then dinner rolled around and we figured we'd go to Panchero's. A fight over the bathroom ensued. Needless to say we got Cinco de Mayo'd.
